Abstract
There is provided a method for treating a male impotent patient comprising stimulating at least one portion of the patient'"'"'s normal penile tissue or the prolongation thereof to at least restrict the blood flow leaving the penis to achieve erection. To improve the erection effect the method further comprises gently constricting the penile portion or the prolongation thereof to restrict the venous blood flow in the penile portion, and then stimulating the constricted penile portion to cause contraction of the penile portion to at least further restrict the blood flow leaving the penis to achieve erection.

201. A method for treating a male impotent patient, the method comprising the steps of:
-
inserting a needle like tube into a cavity of the patients body, using the needle like tube to fill the cavity with gas thereby expanding the I cavity, placing at least two laparoscopical trocars in the patient'"'"'s body, inserting a camera through one of the trocars into the cavity, inserting a dissecting tool through any of the trocar and dissecting an area of at least one portion of the tissue wall of the penile portion, placing a constriction device and a stimulation device in the dissected area in operative engagement with the penile portion, using the constriction device to gently constrict the penile portion of the penile portion to restrict the venous blood flow in the penile portion, and using the stimulation device to stimulate the constricted penile portion to cause contraction of the penile portion to further restrict the venous blood flow in the penile portion to achieve erection. - View Dependent Claims (207, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 233, 234, 235, 236, 239, 241, 242, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 253, 255, 256, 259, 260)

202. A method for treating a male impotent patient, the method comprising the steps of:
-
inserting a needle like tube into a cavity of the patients body, using the needle like tube to fill the cavity with gas thereby expanding the cavity, placing at least two laparoscopical trocars in the patient'"'"'s body, inserting a camera through one of the trocars into the cavity, inserting a dissecting tool through any of the trocar and dissecting an area of at least one portion of the tissue wall of the penile portion, placing a stimulation device in the dissected area in operative engagement with the penile portion, and using the stimulation device to stimulate the penile portion to cause contraction of the penile portion to restrict the venous blood flow in the penile portion to achieve erection. - View Dependent Claims (264)

204. A method for treating a male impotent patient, the method comprising the steps of:
-
cutting the skin of the patient, inserting a dissecting tool and dissecting an area of at least one portion of the tissue wall of the penile portion, placing a constriction device and a stimulation device in the dissected area in operative engagement with the penile portion, using the constriction device to gently constrict the penile portion of the penile portion to restrict the venous blood flow in the penile portion, and using the stimulation device to stimulate the constricted penile portion to cause contraction of the penile portion to further influence the venous blood flow in the penile portion to achieve erection.
